Methods: The study employed the observational cross-section survey design. Simple size involved 384 (three hundred and eight four) aged between 17-31years. Simple random sampling technique was used. The mouth of each study subject was examined intra-orally for presence of fractured teeth and other data like cause of teeth fracture, and level of pain were also collected. Data obtained were analyzed and Chi- square was used as inferential statistics.

Results: The results showed the distribution of fractured teeth among the sample studied was 63(16.4%) with road traffic accident (RTA) being the most common cause of fracture 43(68.3%). Bikes accounted for 26(41.3%) and cars 17(27.0%) of the accidents respectively, followed by sports 13(20.6%), and other causes 7(11.1%). Majority 146(64%) had mild tooth pain while minority (8.3%) experienced intense pain.

Conclusion: The predominance of fractured teeth was established to be 16.4%. The most frequent cause of tooth fracture was RTA which was followed by sports. The occurrence of fractured teeth did not vary significantly according to gender and age.
